Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fuel pumps, in particular to a fuel pump assembly for a snowmobile. Background Art

[0002] A snowmobile is a vehicle used for traveling on snowy terrain, moving via rotating tracks and not requiring a specific path. Snowmobiles are typically powered by an internal combustion engine, and the fuel pump assembly primarily pumps fuel from the fuel tank, pressurizes it, and delivers it to the engine. However, due to structural limitations, the fuel tank structure is complex. Furthermore, snowmobiles often operate on poor terrain, making it prone to fuel leakage to one end when climbing or descending hills or when the fuel tank is low. Existing snowmobile fuel pump assemblies typically feature a single-port intake port, which only draws fuel from either the near or far end of the tank, resulting in a lack of fuel in the tank. Furthermore, the fuel tank and fuel pump assembly are typically welded together. This method involves first welding the fuel pump assembly to the upper tank shell and then welding the upper and lower shells together. This welding method is costly and prevents disassembly in the event of a fuel pump failure, leading to high replacement and maintenance costs. Utility Model Content
